The AFL International Cup was scheduled to be played from July 25 to August 8 2020....

"We would also and thank our strategic partners in the Sunshine Coast Council and Tourism Events Queensland for their support at this time.

06.01.2022 The Australian Institute of Sport has released the National Cabinet endorsed FRAMEWORK FOR REBOOTING SPORT IN A COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT." The download link is below. The intro: Sport makes an important contribution to the physical, psychological and emotional well-being of Australians. The economic contribution of sport is equivalent to 2-3% of Gross Domestic Product. ... The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on communities globally, leading to significant restrictions on all sectors of society, including sport. Resumption of sport can significantly contribute to the re-establishment of normality in Australian society. The Australian Institute of Sport, in consultation with sport partners (National Institute Network Directors, NIN Chief Medical Officers, National Sporting Organisation Presidents, NSO Performance Directors and NSO CMOs), has developed a framework to inform the resumption of sport. National Principles for Resumption of Sport were used as a guide in the development of the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment (the AIS Framework); and based on current best evidence, and guidelines from the Australian Federal Government, extrapolated into the sporting context by specialists in sport and exercise medicine, infectious diseases and public health. The principles outlined in this document apply equally to high performance/professional level, community competitive and individual passive (non-contact) sport. The AIS Framework is a timely tool for how reintroduction of sport activity will occur in a cautious and methodical manner, to optimise athlete and community safety. Decisions regarding the timing of resumption of sporting activity (the when) must be made in close consultation with Federal, State/Territory and Local Public Health Authorities. The priority at all times must be to preserve public health, minimising the risk of community transmission Download PDF: https://www.pm.gov.au//attachb-ais-framework-rebooting-spo
